That was one of the better Big Break finals I have seen.

David could have really put the screws to Kent if some of those putts dropped. Kent let it get away from him too early and he never recovered. David just didn't make any mistakes and won this thing. Congrats to him. I like how he thanked his mom and was real emotional after the win. You could tell it meant a lot to him. I hope this is the start of something special for him.
 
It was a pretty good final....they both missed alot of putts. Kent missed several Phil specials...you know the 3-5 footers :D

As far as talent goes, other than Kent and David, Petey and Shank....this Big Break was weak on talent in my opinion.....lots of ugly shots.

Will be interesting to see what we get in Big Break Ireland.

I didn't know that was the next offering. That should be a good one. Do you know when it starts?

I'll say it again, I wish the season went more like the last two weeks went, more actual golf and not a skills challenge. It's just more entertaining in my book.

I think the commercial said September?
 
David really deserved to win, but Kent really did choke. David's story was just great and he seemed like a very grateful winner. Can't wait to see how he performs in New Orleans next year! Can't wait for BB Ireland.
 
Happy for David, I was rooting for the little guy... David vs Goliath! He's got game too, nice swing & great work ethic. Humble kid as well, deserved win.
 
David definitely deserved it, he was a grinder all the way through
 
Congrats to David!
 
Kent totally Jaked that last episode. I expected more from him.
 
Congrats to David. I was pulling for him from the start. He reminds me of my cousin.
 
Good for David, that was a great win, and I really like the guy. I still feel that Kent is the better "golfer", but clearly under pressure David was the better "player".
 
Really like the show last night, I agree I think all of the eliminations should be full holes not just chipping and putting challenges. Happy to see David win this obviously meant the world to him. I was quite shocked at how rattled Kent got I expected more fight from him but he missed quite a few short putts to give David some breathing room.
 
Man that was crazy for Kent. I was pretty sad he missed all those putts. It was a putting nightmare it seemed. I thought David made some great shots and really could've and should've buried him early but even he missed some pretty darn makeable putts. However, i've never had a putt with multiple thousands of dollars on the line. So I really can't say what kind of pressure goes into that. Congrats to David, he did what he needed to do and he earned it for sure. He seems like a very likable guy.

All in all a nice final episode. I'll be watching the next one.... I always do!


THP needs a show on TGC!
